Spoiling the Obsessed

Chapter 54: Best Friend Returns

Olivia came out of the bathroom to find that Damien had already hung up the phone.

She casually asked, "Dami, who was on the phone?"

Damien looked at her with obvious accusation in his eyes. "Liv, I really don't like the contact name you set for Evan Nolan."

Olivia pondered for a moment before realizing what he meant. She had been extremely busy lately and had meant to change Evan's overly intimate contact name, but somehow forgot again.

She smiled, picked up her phone, and began modifying the contact name under Damien's watchful gaze. She had originally planned to simply enter Evan's full name, but after typing one letter, she had a brilliant idea.

Countless people online had already given this guy a nickname...

Modified Contact Name: Fart King

Save.

Olivia looked up at Damien. "How's this?"

A hint of a smile played on Damien's lips, but his tone remained quite serious.

"Suits that ugly man perfectly."

At that moment, Olivia's phone received a push notification:

【Nation's Sweetheart Jennifer Stewart Wraps 3-Month Filming, Returning to Empire City Tomorrow】

Olivia's eyes lit up when she saw this message.

Jennifer Stewart was her best friend, formerly named Jennifer Jones.

The Jones family had once been prominent in Empire City, but ten years ago, Mr. Jones was embroiled in a money laundering scandal that ruined the family's reputation overnight.

Unable to bear the public condemnation, Mr. Jones jumped to his death from his company headquarters building.

Less than six months after her husband's death, Mrs. Jones remarried into the wealthy Stewart family.

And so, the former Jennifer Jones became Jennifer Stewart, her past erased and never spoken of again, thanks to the Stewarts' influence.

Jennifer Stewart had been Olivia's closest friend since elementary school, though their paths diverged when Olivia stayed in the city for university while Jennifer attended a prestigious film school down south.

In her sophomore year, Jennifer starred in a hit campus drama that launched her meteoric rise to fame. Over the next two years, she rapidly became the youngest A-list actress, dubbed "Nation's Sweetheart" - every guy's fantasy thanks to her stunning beauty, sexy figure, and masterful portrayals of popular personalities.

However, in her previous life, Jennifer had tragically passed away at just 23 years old. At the time, Olivia's son was kidnapped and blinded, and in the ensuing turmoil of caring for him, she lost contact with Jennifer for days until it was too late – her best friend was just ashes.

The memories brought tears to Olivia's eyes. She opened Jennifer's message box and typed, "Jen, you're coming back tomorrow?"

The message had barely sent when Jennifer's call came through.

"Babe, three months apart – you must have missed me so much!" Jennifer's voice was exuberant, having just finished her isolated filming.

Hearing that familiar voice, Olivia could barely hold back her sobs. "Yeah...I really missed you."

Jennifer had a facial mask on her face but as soon as heard the tremor in Olivia's voice, she paused, and asked, "Babe, what's wrong? Did that Evan guy make you upset again?"

Olivia sniffled. "No..." Then she added, "I just...really missed you. So much."

Jennifer felt her heart melting. "Aw, don't cry sweetie. I'll be back tomorrow, I'll come straight to your school!"

Olivia worked to control her emotions, her tone finally lightening. "Okay, then I'll come pick you up at the airport."

Jennifer laughed. "Wow, such VIP treatment! Absence really does make the heart grow fonder. Sounds good, I'll have my assistant arrange everything at the airport so my fans don't mob my precious girl."

She did have an awful lot of fans – if they didn't prepare, Olivia could get trampled.

Olivia smiled. "Okay, Ms. Superstar!"

Olivia pocketed her phone, her eyes glistening with unshed tears, but her face glowed with unrestrained joy. She turned to Damien. "Damien, I need to go pick up Jen – Jennifer Stewart – tomorrow. You know she's been my best friend forever, right?"

Damien narrowed his eyes. "Liv, did you forget the conditions we agreed on before?"

The next day, after making a million promises, Olivia was finally allowed to go to the airport. By then, her phone was blowing up with news about Jennifer:

【Jennifer Stewart Spotted in Form-Fitting Outfit】

【Fans in Tears as Sweetheart Patiently Comforts Them】

【Stewart Heiress Returns, Wearing Unique Jewelry Possibly New Livia Collection】

Olivia scrolled through the posts. Seeing "Livia collection," she felt a flicker of recollection deep within, but couldn't quite grasp the thought.

Livia had been an internationally renowned jewelry brand, launched six years prior and instantly famous for its avant-garde designs. But the brand had mysteriously vanished two years ago, to the dismay of fans worldwide.

Olivia clicked on the airport paparazzi shots of Jennifer and her eyes widened – that jewelry set was one of her own recent designs!

In a flash of insight, she realized – Livia must have been her own brand that disappeared around the time her memories had been tampered with in her previous life! She had never questioned the brand's design matching her own ideas so closely because she didn't know her memories were altered.

Just then, someone covered Olivia's eyes from behind. Recognizing the familiar scent, she laughed, "Jen!"

Jennifer released her. "Babe, how do you always guess it's me so fast?"

Olivia replied wryly, "Can't you try a new trick sometime?"

As she turned around, they both did a double-take. Jennifer was struck by Olivia's vibrant transformation.

Was this radiant, glowing beauty really her frumpy old friend?

Oh right, back in middle school, Olivia had been the obsession of every boy thanks to her ethereal looks. Jennifer had been her deskmate, with the male population split between worshipping her and fantasizing about Olivia.

But in high school, Olivia's aunt had strictly forced her into deliberately ugly getups, nearly making people forget how gorgeous she used to be.

Now, after an incredible glow-up, Olivia looked like everyone's dream!

Jennifer flung her arms around her in a tight embrace. "I almost wish I was a guy – I'm jealous of Evan Nolan!"

Returning the hug, Olivia felt a profound warmth and reassurance wash over her.

In this new life, neither of them would tread the paths of tragedy from before!

"Jen...Evan Nolan and I..." Olivia paused meaningfully. "I don't like him anymore."

"Because he farted?" Jennifer had actually heard the news even before Olivia messaged her.

That's why the usually private star had immediately leaked her own travel plans and selfies to the media – to help bury Olivia's boyfriend's embarrassing scandal.

Sure enough, as headlines about Jennifer's return dominated the trends, Evan Nolan's search rankings plummeted out of the top 10.
